Sometimes two people can be together...but not in the same place at all...
Have I ever told you that I’m scared
No, baby, what are you afraid of
Everything
Most things are scary
When you look at them really closely
Maybe that’s it
That’s silly little girl, he said
I’m here
I’ll never let anything happen to you
I sighed
Maybe that’s what I was afraid of
Haven’t you ever been scared
I had to ask him
He never seemed daunted
By the world
Or its horrors
Oh yeah, baby, I’m scared all the time
What of
Monsters, I wondered
No he laughed
No monsters for me, real or imagined

Reaching out in the dark
There
That’s what I’m afraid of he said
Reaching out for you
And you not being there
I thought about it for a minute
Really scared
Now that I understood
BRILLIANT!! You make this seem so easy and yet it is full of clever subtlety and the words fall onto the page so seemingly effortlessly. Yet I know how difficult it is to achieve such a sense of ease - not through being to able to write it myself, but in the aspiring to! The closure of the last few lines is awesome. Superb write, thank you. Keeping! Kate xx

It is an inner fear of the reality of your situation, and it can be devastating. Great write sis, there are a lot of us who can identify. May the Lord be with you always, and at your side constantly.

Excellent write! Intimacy, the one thing that we need and want, can be a very scary thing indeed! What if we fail our lover's trust? What if they fail us?
I have taken pride in writing this novel as so many people have the wrong impression on bikers because they dress in leather clothing which is to protect themselves in case of an accident. The majority of bikers are known Policemen, Firemen, Doctors,
A true page-turner, Jeff Ovall’s futurist work of fiction peers into the history of a world not yet realized, yet ominously closer than most could imagine. A time in which the past has been reborn and humankind, in all its glory and misery, has final

The unknown brings out the fear in us. Who knows what will happen, unless we try? Thought provoking and very well written.
